westerbeke

I have a 2000 540 with a 15kw Westerbeke. Today the generator started, ran for 5 minutes then went to idle and turned off. Zero power when I went to restart. Load tested the battery, it was bad. Replaced the battery and still have zero power to start. Not even a click. I cannot find a...

I have a small issue. I entrusted my Westerbeke 7.0BCG (daihatsu ED10) cylinder head to a machine shop and they lost it. Thats a whole different discussion... sigh... however i was able to get a new head, however i need the camshaft. I could order it from westerbeke however I cannot figure out...

I had low water flow and high heat shut down on my generator on my 2001 Sea Ray 340. I cleaned my strainer and changed the hose from the sea cock to the strainer. Now I don't have any discharge flow. I then changed the gasket on the strainer and the hose from the strainer to the pump. Still...

Recently removed my gas generator, electrical side is in perfect working order short block needs a complete rebuild. $1k takes the whole thing. From what I can gather electrical side alone runs over $1k to buy by itself.

Hi, Does anyone know a westerbeke gas generator mechanic in Westchester County NY? Thank you, Isaac

Hello, I have a 2002 Westerbeke Gas Genny with around 100 hours. I just purchased boat last season and it had only 60 hours on it. The issue I'm having is the generator runs fine but after about an hour it dies, and wont start back up due to dead battery. I had battery tested and its...

We were out for a slow cruise on smooth waters recently. When we returned to the dock, I found that the oil fill cap on the generator had apparently vibrated off. Any advice for creating a tighter fit on the oil fill cap so this does not recur? Generator is a Westerbeke BTD 8kw. Thank you,

Hey all, So have an interesting problem that developed near the end of the season this year. My Westerbeke 4.5kw Gen is slowly losing coolent somewhere. It does not appear to be leaking out of any hoses/fittings as I don't see any coolant in the bildge, however when I'm running the gen over...

My controller to start/stop my Westerbeke Diesel generator has quit working properly. According to Intelletic it is no longer made. Has anyone run into this and determined a solution?

Hey everybody! Got a problem with my new to me, 1 year now, 1999 Sundancer 310. My Westerbeke 4.5 KW BCGTC generator has decided to blow the 8 am fuse. This installation only has remote switches, may have originally had switches at the gen, and when the on switch is pressed it blows the fuse...

Need referral for a good Westerbeke Generator Tech in Middle River Area Maryland

This weekend my Westerbeke Gas genset suddenly died when the AC load hit it. It repeated this multiple times. Runs fine and can carry smaller loads without cutting out. Anybody got any idea where to start looking? Also need suggestions for good mechanics in Middle River MD? Both Westerbeke...

Added an aftermarket auxiliary muffler on our 9KW gas Westerbeke genny & very impressed with how much it knocks down the sound! http://youtu.be/U6S1_542Zvg

My Westerbeke generator will crank but will not start. If I prime the carb it fires up until the prime is used up. I pullled supply line to carb and fuel lift pump is working. I also pulled off carb and cleaned and looked for blockage, but it looks ok. I also verified there is no fuel coming out...

My 4.5 westerbeke shut down on me while I was actually watching the exhaust pumping. Was running fine, then a little white smoke and then dies. It ended up being the belt on the water pump which actually broke. Anyway, I changed the belt, and now the gen won't run unless I depress the preheat...

My westerbeke 7.2 bcgtc has me stumped. After an hour of being out of the slip and tied up with friends. The generator starts to die then it restarts itself. After about 3 times of doing this it finally just dies. Let me list you everything we have done to resolve this and maybe you can tell me...

I have a 2002 amberjack with a gas Westerbeke generator 4.0kw (200 hours). The generator seems to be running fairly well, but I have a small gas slick while running. The ac voltage is stable at 120V. When loading a/c - my a/c compressor turns on it drops the voltage significantly, and has a...

Below is a video I made that shows some before and after pictures as well as noise levels and generator loading. Our boat is a Sea Ray 280 Sundancer. The genset is a marine Westerbeke PMBG MPV3. This is a very small marine generator. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=57kywpWBdMQ Below are...
